Help getting into Speech Pathology program

[SOHA15]

I have my undergraduate degree in Audiology from 2004. I worked in management for a few years after getting married and have decided to go into speech pathology after making some observations with speech pathologists during my pregnancy last year. The problem is my gpa from undergrad is extremely low bring 2.34. I was not interested in school at the time and had no direction. I have applied to some post baccalaureate programs for speech pathology and was wondering if that would help me get into a masters program if I did well in the post baccalaureate program. I still have to take the GRE as well. Any help would be appreciated!

I have heard that the longer you have been out of school, the less undergrad GPA matters.

So do u think I should proceed with this post baccalaureate program? My concern is that I don't want to be stuck with loans and no job unless it would really help me.

Email some programs that you would potentially be applying to after the post bacc program and see what they say with your situation.  I am sure if you have relevant experience and do well in the post bacc program you will be fine!  My undergrad GPA was 2.0 and then when I went back to school full time a few years later I only had a 3.3 for my SLP courses and still got accepted into a program.  Email programs and see!

Hey everyone, IDK how to post my own blog but I was just wondering if anyone knows how important GRE scores are? I have a 3.7 GPA in undergrad SLP & AUD, I currently work in EI as a sub teacher, and I'm taking my GRE in 2 weeks and am super nervous if I will get into any grad schools at all, does anyone know if you have a low GRE and a high GPA what are the changes of getting accepted to schools in NY/NJ?
